Seems ansible-lint thinks a task calling the unqualified user module is
"not valid under any of the given schemas (schema[tasks])".

Not sure why this is needed but whatever. 

https://github.com/ansible/schemas/discussions/227

Prevents the following lint failure:

  jinja: You need to install "jmespath" prior to
         running json_query filter (jinja[invalid])

The service was enabled in arch-boxes to account for "hardware clock is
not in UTC, but instead UTC+X"[1], in our case the (VM) hardware clock
is in UTC and we therfor don't need the slow systemd-time-wait-sync
service (+30 seconds).

arch_boxes_sync: Pull the artifacts from GitLab's package registry

See merge request !580

Fixes: 2e799bd1 ("arch_boxes_sync: Create predictable symlinks for latest image files")

arch-boxes has decided to use GitLab's package registry instead of job
artifacts[1].

mailman3: allow everyone to post to the arch-wiki-admins mailing list

See merge request !629

The mailing list is used for non-public communication with users, so everyone needs be able to post to it.
It is also the assigned email address of the ArchWiki user "WikiSysop".

tf/keycloak: Add openid client for buildbot

See merge request !623

The buildbot POC wants to use Keycloak for user authentication. The
client is public, because it doesn't make sense to have a client secret,
which can't be kept under wrap anyway (it would need to be shipped with
the CLI[1]).

From time to time aurweb is failing with "Too many open files"
errors[1], this could indicate a bug in aurweb or perhaps the limit is
just too low. Let's try doubling the limit and see if it helps.

The code isn't vulnerable to nginx alias traversal[1][2], nevertheless
it should only match /static/ and not e.g. /staticfoobar.

Whoosh is used by default, but it is slow at indexing (multiple hours
for just aur-requests) and searching e.g. aur-requests isn't possible
(it is slow and uses 3G+ of memory resulting in it getting OOM-killed).

Xapian indexed everything in just 76 minutes and searching aur-requests
now works and is plenty fast.

This avoids triggering a GitLab push rule which rejects files that look
like secrets.

Add GPG master and signing key for Renovate and arch-boxes

See merge request !579

The key is used for signing the releases, so the users can be sure the
images on the mirrors haven't been modified. arch-boxes has been tweaked
to use the key in this MR[1].

[1] arch-boxes!176

Renovate is a tool for: "Automated dependency updates. Multi-platform
and multi-language."[1].

We require all commits pushed directly to official projects to be
signed, so a master key and signing key have been generated for
Renovate. Both keys are stored in renovate.asc and Renovate only has
access to the signing key.

syncriscv: add role for mirroring the RISC-V port

Fixes: 26f289b7 ("Capitalize the first letter of all task names")

All lists have been migrated to mailman3[1] and mailman3 is what users

interface.

gitlab_runner: try to protect the VM runner kernel from the root user

See merge request !617

Enable kernel lockdown in confidentiality mode to restrict how the root user can interact with the kernel.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Security#Kernel_lockdown_mode and https://man.archlinux.org/man/kernel_lockdown.7

This could prevent a scenario where a malicious kernel module or access to some interface that kernel lockdown prevents, would allow or assist in escaping the KVM.
It is not very likely as there needs to be an exploitable vulnerability in the hypervisor.
To make it more secure, the host too would need to enable kernel lockdown.

In the end this may only give some sense of security, but, as we all know, that's all that matters anyway.
